It's swell of you,
Treating me so kindly,
Swell of you,
I was heading blindly,
Then your smile
Showed me the way to love!
It's swell of you,
Just to let me share the spell
of you;
Funny what a pleasant word will
do
To bring out the blue up above!
When I have you, and an inspiration,
And should you get by, and in appreciation,
I promise that I'll love you, dear,
until the day I die!
It's swell of you,
While I live my lips will tell
of you,
Just how grand you are and that
you'll be
The one for me,
You'll never know exactly what
you've done for me,
But it's oh, so awfully mighty
swell of you!
